The Monday Deep Dive

Hi there

This is a deviation from the usual format of your Monday Insights.

I’ve hit some major milestones recently.

So I’m taking a moment to celebrate with you and give something back by way of a thank you.

Milestone 1 - and this is big!

The founders round of my signature Program ‘Procurement Soft Skills Mastery’ completed last week.

The feedback has been incredible.

Here’s some soundbites from the testimonials that are rolling in:

“This course not only improved my ‘soft skills’ but made work more enjoyable and has helped me to manage stress more effectively”

Dean Adam, Head of Category

“I've taken away numerous techniques which will enhance my approach on current and future projects.”

Natalie Phillips, Jnr Category Manager

“This course will set you apart from other Procurement Pros and contribute to advancing your career”

Jean-Marc Ducharme, Sr Director, Global Procurement & Supply Chain

and what’s more, I’ve loved every minute of getting to know my cohort and supporting them on their journey to Procurement Soft Skills Mastery.

The enrolment window for the Autumn cohort where once again spaces will be limited reopens v. soon - get on the waitlist by clicking the poll at the bottom of this e-mail.

Milestone 2 - free webinar this month

I’m excited to announce I will be delivering a Procurement Soft Skills Mastery Webinar on Thursday 22nd August

Milestone 3 - this is kind of a silly one but go with me

A couple of years ago when I started posting on LinkedIn consistently, I called a successful creator on there who I looked up to for advice.

He had 68,000 followers at the time and with best intentions he told me this:

“There won’t be 68,000 followers interested in Procurement so you should branch out from just writing about your niche”.

I stubbornly disagreed.

I doubled down from that point and almost entirely produced content about Procurement (and began this newsletter too which is now 11,500 subscribers strong).

And here I am today…

68,000 & counting. Thank you!

So, as a thank you for your incredible support, I’m reminding you of free stuff you get as a subscriber to this newsletter.

You’ve come here for my hi-res PDF Procurement Cheat sheets?

It’s okay I get it!

You can download them here:

Did you know, though, you can also get the Complete Request For Proposal (RFP) kit here

And you can get the Procurement Policy Templates here (with bonus value reporting guidelines):

For each of the products above, many of you generously pay the nominal £10 and I really appreciate this.

This helps support my work and research and well…buys me the time and resources to create more.

I do understand that some of you can’t afford this though, so if that’s you, just put £0 at the checkout and you’ll still be able to get them for free.

There are other ways you can support me too.

By upgrading to my Premium* version of this newsletter you get all time access to all 200+ archived articles and all future Premium only content too.

*BTW price of the premium subscription is going up by 20% from the 1st September, so get in now to get your annual subscription and beat that rise.

You can also share this newsletter with your friends or colleagues here and help spread the word

Someone asked me the other day why I give so much of my work away for free?

It’s because my primary passion is to advance the function, my goal is to promote better procurement

To share my knowledge, experience and research in the most accessible way possible.

Thank you for all you support

Oh and one more testimonial for Procurement Soft Skills Mastery course for now

I highly recommend this course for anyone working in direct buying or indirect Procurement at all stages of their career. Tom’s frameworks are effectively simple and the workshops are really engaging”.

Emma Chang, Commercial Manager
